1981 was when the springbok tour was
1981 Springbok Tour
The 1981 Springbok rugby tour of New Zealand was announced by Ces Blazey on July 1, 1981. This tour was highly controversial and sparked significant protests due to the political climate surrounding apartheid in South Africa at the time. The tour ultimately led to widespread demonstrations across New Zealand.
There were a number of organisations opposed to the 1981 Springbok tour including: HART (Halt All Racist Tours), CARE (Citizens Association for Racial Equality), COST ( Citizens Opposed to the Springbok Tour) and others. Key figures included John Minto, Trevor Richards and Tom Newnham.
HART halt all racist tours organisation
The 1981 Anti-Springbok Tour protesters hoped to get the attention of the public, by making large scale protests involving almost all of the locals. They hoped to educate the public, of the situation over in Southern Africa, and how the Aparteid were conducting racial and capitalist actions against innocent civilians.
New Zealand became a divided country in the fact that half thought it was 'just a game' & the other half saw it as being racist in not letting non-white human beings play alongside the springboks in the 1981 Springbok Tour. Mass protests were held all over he country, and flour bombs were dropped on to the fields while the All Blacks and the Springboks were playing in the final. Anti-Apartheid protesters were beaten by police with batons & the majority of the protesters were arrested with blood dripping down their faces & bodies.
It ended because the tour was officially over. The Springboks played all the games they were scheduled to, barring the Hamilton and Timaru games which were cancelled due to extreme protesting. The tour wasn't ended early or anything, if that's what you were asking. It just finished.
During the Springbok Tour of 1981 in New Zealand, protests against the South African rugby team due to apartheid policies led to significant unrest. Approximately 1,500 people were injured in the protests, with many requiring medical attention due to clashes with police. The tour remains a pivotal moment in New Zealand's history regarding social justice and anti-apartheid activism.

No I don't think the govern ment made the right choice. Letting the tour go ahead split families up because they didn't agree on what was right.
